We All Need a Little Help: The Face of Homelessness

By Jeremy Reynalds

THE HOMELESS ARE ALL AROUND US . . .He stands on the hot asphalt holding up a handwritten cardboard sign that reads, “Homeless vet will work for food.” She wheels a rusty shopping cart filled with glass bottles and old newspapers down a crowded downtown street.They carry a beat-up suitcase, a bedroll, and an infant, and survey the grassy areas of the city park before they spread their blanket under a large maple tree for the night.As CEO of Joy Junction, a family homeless shelter in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dr. Jeremy Reynalds has assisted many who have nowhere else to go. He shares the journeys of some who have traveled, with the Junction’s help, from destitution and hopelessness to recovery and faith. We All Need a Little Help puts a face to the homeless struggle. Read the adventures and “divine encounters”—surprising stops along the way that offer lessons on life, love, and God. Your desire to help will be kindled as you learn more about how you can lend a hand.

We All Need a Little Help: The Face of Homelessness by Jeremy, Ph.d. Reynalds

Wow, We All Need a Little Help: The Face of Homelessness by Jeremy, Ph.d. Reynalds; In his words, you'll be moved by the stories or I should say real life experiences by real people. We are all in a place in life that at any one moment, we could also be placed in one of these situations. Some from drugs, some from alcohol and some because of bad decisions or situations in their life which will cause them to fall between the cracks of society. You will be moved and maybe even moved into action to help those who have fallen between the cracks of life. But you will be even more moved by the fact that there are people who devote their whole life helping those who have fallen expecting nothing in return. What a change from our society's attitude, where most do nothing unless they expect something in return. A must read.
